29-06-23 | The long wait is finally over. Yesterday Universal Pictures posted the trailer for their latest horror film, Five Nights at Freddy’s. Based on the popular videogame from 2014, Five Nights at Freddy’s stars Josh Hutcherson as a down on his luck security guard, tasked to guard a pizza parlor. The eatery is filled with sinister robotic animals, built to amuse children by day, which turn into killers by night.
Soon after its release, the videogame turned into an internet phenomenon when YouTubers embraced the horror game for its quirky humour and shock value. This new film comes almost 10 years after the game hit the big time, another example of Hollywood’s unability to keep up with popular culture. Better late than never? We’ll have to wait and see.
